The correct answer is A): Based on the excerpt from John Milton's "Paradise Lost," Satan's likely motive for wanting to punish Adam and Eve was that he envied the love they shared, which he would never experience.

There are several clues that support this answer: he finds the sight of Adam and Eve embracing to be hateful; he also says that they will enjoy bliss while he is thrust into Hell, and that he will have no joy or love while he is there. His envy is evident when he says that he will only feel desire and longing pines for what he can't have. All the other options for the answer mention God, and Satan's feeling towards him, but in this excerpt there is no mention of God or His preferences.

C. Lizabeth learns that sympathy and understanding come from recognizing the truth about other people.

Explanation:

Eugenia Collier's short story "Marigolds" takes place during the Great Depression. The main character, Lizabeth, is a 14-year-old girl who lives in a poor neighborhood. The poorest and ugliest of the houses belongs to Miss Lottie, however it is the house that has a most beautiful garden full of marigolds. Lizabeth, her brother, and the other kids in the neighborhood often throw rocks into the garden and call Miss Lottie a witch.

<u>The main theme of the story is about maturing and developing empathy for others. Lizabeth, while throwing a tantrum, completely destroys the garden of marigolds. It is only then that she realizes she was simply projecting her anger about her family's awful situation in life. She is finally able to see that Miss Lottie's garden brings a little bit of beauty into this miserable world, where poor people can only remain poor. Lizabeth leaves her childhood behind when she understands who Miss Lottie is, as well as herself.</u>
